The reading texts include contracts, statutes, corporate documents, legal correspondence and much more. The listening passages give you a unique opportunity to train by listening to negotiations, lawyer-client conferences, court proceedings and other recordings in a law context. The reading and listening passages are followed by exercises (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true-false, matching, etc.) which reinforce the vocabulary taught in the passage. Each course consists of 15 - 20 units and hundreds of exercises, providing several thousand questions in all.
Approved by bar associations
TransLegal's online courses are used by bar associations, universities and law firms around the world and are even approved for credits by, among others, the Paris Bar Association, as part of the continuing legal education program for their members.
Choose between the basic and professional versions
Each TransLegal online course is available in a
basic version and a
professional version. The basic version of the course gives you full access to the entire online course, but without a private lawyer-linguist tutor to train writing and speaking skills. The professional version of the course includes, in addition to the online course, 30 minutes of private instruction each week for the duration of the course (15 or 20 weeks) by a TransLegal lawyer-linguist instructor who is assigned as your personal tutor. This private training is conducted by telephone 15 minutes each week, scheduled at times convenient for you, to train speaking and by email correspondence each week with specific writing exercises through which you train legal drafting skills.
